Four
people were killed during two explosions in Abu Ghraib suburb of Baghdad.
One appeared to be a suicide
bombing, while the other was a rocket-propelled grenade attack against the
nephew of the outspoken leader of the Sunni Muslim Scholars’ Association. Harith
al-Dari was killed and a companion was injured. Al-Dari was also the son of
Sheikh Thahir al-Dari, who is the head of the same tribe to which Deputy Prime
Minister Salam al-Zubaie belongs. Al-Zubaie barely escaped an assassination attempt
on his life last week. The tribe is known for being against al-Qaeda, and relatives
of al-Dari blamed al-Qaeda. An unspecified
number of attackers were also killed.
